We'd never been to the Castlefield Museum before, though my Dad had taken our children when they were younger and they'd really enjoyed it. There was plenty to see, including old textile machinery, old computers and the oldest railway station in Britain.

We spent a good few hours there and there's a decent café where we partook of a cup of tea and a sandwich.

I was a little tempted to clone the Hilton Hotel out of the photo above, but then the contrast is just so very typical of Manchester, so I didn't! :)
